Nicolas Ghesquière will showcase the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 collection on May 20, 2027, in New York City, according to reports from WWD. The exact venue remains undisclosed, but Ghesquière’s history of selecting extraordinary architectural backdrops suggests a striking setting for the highly anticipated event.
Architectural Marvels as Backdrops
As the artistic director of women’s collections at Louis Vuitton since 2013, Ghesquière has consistently chosen remarkable venues for his fashion shows. Past locations include the iconic TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, which hosted the Cruise 2019 collection shortly before it was transformed into the TWA Hotel. In contrast, the previous year’s Cruise 2026 show took place at the Palais des Papes in Avignon, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its Gothic architecture.
Ghesquière’s choice of venue not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the collection but also reflects the brand’s commitment to merging fashion with significant cultural landmarks. Other notable venues have included the Bob Hope estate in Palm Springs, California; Brazil’s Museum of Contemporary Art Niterói; and the Miho Museum in Kyoto, designed by Ieoh Ming Pei.
New York City as a Fashion Hub
New York City continues to attract major European fashion brands, reinforcing its status as a global fashion capital. In recent years, Alaïa presented its winter-spring 2025 collection at the Guggenheim Museum, while Ludovic de Saint Sernin opted for a warehouse setting for his fall 2024 collection. Additionally, luxury brand Chanel is set to introduce its first Métiers d’Art collection, designed by Matthieu Blazy, on December 2, 2023, also in New York City.
With these high-profile events, New York remains a vital destination for fashion innovators, drawing attention from industry leaders and enthusiasts alike. The upcoming Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show promises to be another highlight in the city’s vibrant fashion calendar.
